Abstract

The term of universal health coverage (UHC) are getting popularity among the countries
who have not yet attained it. Majority of the developing countries are planning to
implement the UHC to protect the vulnerable citizen who cannot afford to buy the health
services. Poor people living in developing countries, where there is no UHC, are bereft
of getting equal health care. They have to bear a significant amount of health cost
in buying different services which often causes catastrophic expenditures for an individual
and a family. If a country can provide UHC, it will be possible to bring all the citizens
under provision of equal and quality care. However, implementation of a UHC is not
an easy phenomenon, rather it needs proper design of a good health insurance system
by integrating both the public and private health care providers. The influence of
good governance and a sustainable health financing system is fundamental to establish
UHC in the developing countries.
